On my Samsung A05 Thunderbird does not show received email dates only the day. This is useless for finding emails going back more than a week or two. I don't care what day of the week it was received, just the date and time. Earlier solution offered (via message lists) not in any of my menus so cannot use. Please advise how to show dates. Current OS Android 15 A055FXXSHDZF1/ A055FOJMHDZF1 / A055FXXSHDZF1 with security patch level: 5 June 2026 Also cannot find support/about option in the settings menu to show the Thunderbird version.

Please tell me how to clear cache in the Firefox focus browser on my iPhone. It says to go to settings, then to data management but I don’t see data management under my settings. Please explain how to do this. Thanks, Linda

When I replaced Outlook with Thunderbird, it was brilliant. It was so good, I chose to donate! Now it's changed. I was trying to find out why a forwarded email changed the body of the message to a HTML attachment. I stupidly followed a wrong AI help process and changed something I can't remember. Now all of my emails only show hyperlinks and not the pictures these hyperlinks point to. I would like the pictures back and the option to download these if these are safe in new emails. I've seached everywhere I thought I went but I can't find the setting that does this. Please help if you can.

I exported my settings from desktop thunderbird when setting up Thunderbird Android 20 but discovered it was automatically marking messages as read. That makes it difficult to have a peek at messages when I'm out (in case there's something urgent) but still see those messages as unread when I return to the desktop.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1504592 claims to have found the option to do that, but it's an old message that has been archived without ever saying where that option was found. I've tried settings search as well as a visual search of all settings without seeing a relevant option.

Does that option actually exist? Or do I have to go back to K9 (which, at least in v19, had that option)?

Please add an UNDO feature to the Android version.

It has happened to me multiple times that when trying to scroll (esp in the bus) it registers as a swipe & deletes a message.

and then it's really hard to scan the trash to figure out which message it was

at the same time, i don't want to be asked for confirmation *every* time i delete something - I'll spend as much time "confirming" as deleting messages.

So the ideal in an undo button somewhere in the interface where a can undo the last action (from a subset, since I'm guessing not every action can be undone). The desktop version has it, hopefully it can be migrated to the android version.

thank you

In the email address tree on the start up page of Thunderbird, how can I manually sort the email address order? I have an address I would like to move to the top of the list.

I know it can be done, but I can not for the life of me remember how. Please help.....

I've read a lot of suggestions on the FAQ section, but what they are offering, I do not have listed in/on my Thunderbird.

Thank you.

I like to be able to either accept or not accept the remote content for each message, mostly I don't need it, so I don't want to accept it in general.

However, the yellow bar, which I mostly ignore, is quite distracting when browsing through the mails, so I would like to change the color.

I already tried several approaches with the userChrome.css, like linked below, none of them worked for me. I am using the newest version of Thunderbird on Windows 11.

Whenever I open the single mail with the arrow > , it opens up as well all the past mails and sometimes mails which are not related with my topic. Please let me know how I can fix it avoiding the mail grouping. Many thanks in advance for your help. Kind rgds. FT

Hi,

I use Thunderbird 152.0.1 (64-Bit) and I only have three items in the files & attachment section of general settings (JPG, PDF, Excel). How can I add more items, for other file types? Is there an easy way to do this or does this mean I have to deep dive into the configuration of Thunderbird?

And would it be possible to add an item to declare that website links in e-mails have to be opened with Firefox in private mode, which is not the standard browser on my machine?

Thx!

Hello:

a question on the programs default design & possible alteration...

the mailbox program by default creates a folder on the hard drive in the *user* profiles folder.... in appdata/roaming in *Windows 10*, this folder contains all of the various mailbox information, the number of individual mailboxes that the user has created & makes use of. This folder (in my case) gets quite large (I have a lot of stored messages saved from 2 particular mailboxes in there). At the moment that folder is well over 1 gig large..... I'm making use of the imap configuration, is it possible to save all of these messages to *the cloud* instead of the messages taking up physical space on my hard drive? All of my source mailbox accounts make use of *cloud* storage to save any users information.... can one do the same with Thunderbird?

thx

Suddenly my e-mails are showing in Thunderbird as tabs rather than listings. What have I done? How do I rectify it? I looked in display, and there didn't seem to be anything there to help me.

Thanks.
